The road will be closed near the old Lambley Lane junction – between two new Lambley Lane junctions.

Pothole

The work is taking place after a pothole appeared on the £49m Gedling Access Road just nine months after the flagship road opened to motorists.

A picture taken by the BBC’s Local Democracy Reporting Service last month showed a hole measuring about 10 centimetres wide just after the second roundabout when travelling southeast.

Nottinghamshire County Council said some damage has been caused to the road by “badly-fitted farm machinery”.

Costs to repair the hole will be met through a warranty agreement with contractor Balfour Beatty.

Speaking after the pothole was found, the authority said the road has since been “made safe”.
